ARCHIVED - The Walkaway

Since this forum doesn't like the political, you can just link to my blog on my sig, but here's what I wrote anyway. But I just want to share this, cuz it's just really cool.
[b]The Awesome Person of the Day Award[/b]
[quote]Inspiration comes from weird places. I felt it necessary to honor a certain [url=http://www.wtopnews.com/?sid=520273&nid=25]escaped/recaptured[/url] convict today in my home state who was on the work-release program, and then create a whole award just for people who do cool stuff like this.
You see these guys every other day, probably, working hard to clean up the median strip, repay their debt to society, and hopefully get a shorter sentence. Today's award goes to one such young man whose name has yet to be disclosed, whose stylishly illegal actions caused lockdowns, unnecessary commotion, and enjoyable (but not harmful) classroom disruption from the daily grind. Here's how it went about:
Despite the looming threat of shotgun-toting wardens literally gunshot away, our suave hero in his smashing orange jacket, delightfully tacky prison jumpsuit, and properly accessorized with a bag full of trash and a long pokey stick, decided in an admirably communist way that he was sick of working, and decided to walk away from the group. Yeah. He just got up and left. How about that? Sure, who's going to notice some wanker walking down Route 15 with a bag full of beer cans and my left sneaker? He's walking, right? Not running, that' too suspicious. For figuring out and acting upon this deceptively true fact, the Unnamed Walkaway Prisoner for the first ever Awesome Person of the Day Award... Ever. Hats off to you, UWP. Congratulations. [/quote]
